NAME

       resize - set TERMCAP and terminal settings to current xterm window size

SYNOPSIS

       resize [ -u | -c ] [ -s [ row col ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Resize  prints  a  shell  command  for setting the TERM and TERMCAP environment variables to indicate the current size of xterm window from
       which the command is run.  For this output to take effect, resize must either be evaluated as part of the command line (usually done with a
       shell alias or function) or else redirected to a file which can then be read in.  From the C shell (usually known as /bin/csh), the follow-
       ing alias could be defined in the user's .cshrc:

	       %  alias rs 'set noglob; eval `resize`'

       After resizing the window, the user would type:

	       %  rs

       Users of versions of the Bourne shell (usually known as /bin/sh) that don't have command functions will need to send the output to a tempo-
       rary file and the read it back in with the ``.'' command:

	       $  resize > /tmp/out
	       $  . /tmp/out

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with resize:

       -u      This option indicates that Bourne shell commands should be generated even if the user's current shell isn't /bin/sh.

       -c      This option indicates that C shell commands should be generated even if the user's current shell isn't /bin/csh.

       -s [rows columns]
	       This  option  indicates	that Sun console escape sequences will be used instead of the VT100-style xterm escape codes.  If rows and
	       columns are given, resize will ask the xterm to resize itself.  However, the window manager may choose to disallow the change.

	       Note that the Sun console escape sequences are recognized by XFree86 xterm and by dtterm.  The resize program may be  installed	as
	       sunsize, which causes makes it assume the -s option.

	       The  rows  and  columns	arguments  must appear last; though they are normally associated with the -s option, they are parsed sepa-
	       rately.

FILES

       /etc/termcap   for the base termcap entry to modify.

       ~/.cshrc       user's alias for the command.
